Tried to contact restoration battery today; neither phone number or e-mail worked'''what gives?
 
The company that made clones of the stock batteries went out of business some time ago, but some one did pick up the business. I don't have the new name. Some one here should have it.

James, try batterycentralmall.com. They show reproduction batteries in a 2LF size for 1938 Fords with AGM construction for $399. Happy hunting.
 
I just used a Six volt Optima [39 dlx] and noticed a web site for them in Spanish. 7" tall fit well. Now mfg'd in Mexico ??? Newc
 
They have been for years. They moved about 15 years ago and had some initial quality control problems. It was all well documented in several threads on the H.A.M.B., and there was a member there who was VP for Johnson Controls who really seemed to be a "stand-up guy". He acknowledged they had some initial problems, explained what they were doing to improve things, and even facilitated solving some members problems.

We are living in a "global" world these days, and I'm afraid it's not going to change. I've had my '51 since 1987 and am on my third Optima. I like everything but the price.
